I stumbled across this as I was playing with the console for test and
debugging. Normally, the console shoud shout a warning like: illegal use of
ns_conn. Syntax is ns_conn ?instruction? "data"...

There seems to be a bug - it would seem that there is no check on the use of
this instruction, and therfore a infraction of Michael Abrash's first rule
of programming: "Assume nothing!"

Anyway, now I have found that it crashes my test environment, I won't do it
again!

Cheers,
Daniel
